TllUUSDAV EVKNINO, UUTOHER 1845. Tli Hi riulliiif CiiiiiiUxionrrt It will bo recollected thut Mr. Spencer, in hia brief j communication to tlio public under date of Sept II, denied that the "insinuation" in the Journal that ho was a defaulter wns true! In what manner llio insinuation was repealed and clinched, id in the recollection of our rondern. lie also said (and wo quote hia language that there may be no mistake) "I am ready to render an account of my steward-ship, and account for all money which has come into my hands, as soon ns the truvellinjr member of the Board of Fund Cum in winners is ready to make the itettlumcntwitli mo. What renders the charge of defalcation against the iHtc Hoard tho more unfair, is the fact, that Mr. Itansomond myself have frequently visiiod Columbus to procure a settlement with the acting Commissioner of tho Fund Hoard, and have as often been disappointed. This fact must have been known to tho Journal scribbler, nnd if so, it at once places liitn in the lowest rank of slanderers." We will hero remark that " the travelling member of the Board of Fund Commissioners " so gracelessly alluded to, has always been present in his office himself, or by a Clerk authorized by law, evor since his nppointmcnt, until sinco the date of Mr. Spencer1 communication, when ill health compelled the Secretary to retire. IIo is now absent, but tho Commissioner is present, nnd wo havo his authority for Baying that no application mis ever made, by Mr, Spencer or Mr, Hansom, to htm or at hi etjjict, for a settlement, as is claimed by Mr. Hitencer. A very discreet, and no doubt very disinterested friend of Colonel Kuniom's, lately said in a communication addressed to the N, Vork Tribune, (whose editor's good nature was so far imposed as to in-duco the publication.) that Col. It. has made two unsuccessful c Hurts to procure a meeting of the Corn in id i oners, nnd finally to accommodate them and not himself, an appointment is umdo for the ensuing October." This assertion is equally destitute of foundation with the other. Tho writer in tho Tribune farther says "It is needless to say to those acquainted with tho course of business in Ohio, that it is the duty of tho Fund ('ommirisionurs to call on the officers of State, to whoae hands any of the public money is committed, for an annual account Let us see how the fact stands in regard to the Acting Commissioners: Sec. 5, of tho Act "to regulate the mode of settlement of nc count between the different departments connected with tho Public Works," passed March Vi, provides "That each Acting Coimms-oonor of tho Hoard nf I' lib lie Works shall settle with the Acting Com- misoioner of the Cnnal Fund on the fi flee nth d.i)s of May snd November, in each year." Had this provision been complied with, we should not havo to hear about balances in the hands of Commissioners unaccounted for, as it is modestly termed. Whatever desiro Mr. Spencer or Mr. ltauom may have expressed elsewhere to settle their account, it is very evident that they have not culled nt tho right place. We are sorry to makn this exjmsuro, but our silence bus been wrongly understood uiul misrepresented. Tho reader can judge how fur tho delay in the settlement of tho accounts of the ActingCorn-mi-winner has been made for the accommodation of the Fund Commissions, Whin mf FrinUtiH ('inly. IMieving that tho Whigs nl Franklin nro men of deeds and not of words, and that thty cannot nvojd swing nnd knowing tho characters of those who ns-mimo to lead the locofoco party of Ohio, as well as tho nature of tho measures advocated by them, wo liav refrained from addressing them particularly during tho campaign that is now nearly at a close. Nor is it our pursue now, to do moru than remind them of the near approach of the election, and the importanco of maturing their measures so ns to secure the attendance at the (tolls of every Whig voter on the 1 1th day of October. In every section of tho State and by tho whole Whig party of Ohio, Franklin is looked upoii as one of those counties that are unalterably Whig. In all vicissitudes of party, the Wing of Franklin, it is supposed, will sltuid fast, do their whole duty, sustain their high repututiou nml set to all other counties an example worthy of imitation. To their example and achievements do others louk for the fin its of a tho rough organization, an unfaltering faith, a xeil that tires not, on energy that delies resistance. If hero there should be faltrring nnd remissness, among thoso who have been trained in the very camp of the enemy, and who know llmt tin wo who struggln for the 'spoils never sliO never cease to prey nn tho credulity of tho unsu4jeuting and unwary, what could be expected from other sections of the State. If here the Whigs should present a divided front, and sutler a portion of their own ticket, (men of their own political faith, men who havo bean tried, and who are known by all to be "honest am) cnpablo") to be defeated, it would bo a lu.Htiug reproach, a burning shame. Now, wo do not know that any such result is likely to bo brought ubonL On tho contrary, wo believe that the Wings of Franklin will be true to themselves, their cause and their friends throughout tho Stale, in tho contest thnt comes oft next 'I lies- day week. Hut, wo predicate our faith on what is to bo done, not on what has been done. Wo bolievo there is much to d in this county, and that the im jMirtaul work of tho campaign has been more neg lected in this county thin in any other section of tho Stale, Wo have, it ii supposed, a County Whig Committee; but who they nro and what they have done are questions more canity asked than answered. At least, wo find others about as much in the dark ns to their movements ns wo nro. If such a Commilteo is in ox is t once, it is nil important that they set about tho imjHrtaut work entrusted to t-omi. If iheru is not such a committee, the sooner tho work usually allotted to it is undertaken by others tho better. W wan' tow nli i p commiltT, nnd wo want to know that they oro at work. Such committees have already been appointed in some of tho townships by our op nme uts, and we havo reason to believe hal they are at work. Whigs of Franklin! if our good name is to bo austnined, and you expect to enjoy I ho fruits of a complete victory, you mint sue each other and pass round the work of admonition and exhortation until there shall not bo one left who fails to understand tho nature of the i-wiios between the two parties. Here, as elsewhere, if a victory is achieved, we shall bo indebted to clKcient labors for it. Apathy and neglect will yield tho same fruits hero, that have been uxiwrienced elsewhere. Wo are advised that our opponents are already anticipating a suro victory over at least a portion of ourlickut, owing to the apa thy that exist They know that their friends can bo relied on in all contingencies, and that it is tho Whigs who suffer by a small vol. They see that a change of a littlo ovorftrcfifv rotes in each township will give them the county, and that a falling olT in the voto greater than this, will inevitably occur, unless a large amount of labor is expended in arousing tho Whigs during the short period (lint is loft us, Whigs '.if Franklin, you must up and at tho work, if you would disapHJint tbem. You con elect every mm on your ticket. Of that there can bo no doubt Will you do it? Will you, by staying away from tho polls, by scratching your tickets, swapping votes, or any other dangerous expedient, endanger any por tion of your ticket. Never were Whig principles so firmly rooted, never had they a stronger bold on tho affections of the people of Ohio, aa at the present time. This ia as true of Franklin aa of any of her sisters. In behalf of those principles, then, in bo- half of measures that wo know you approve, wo ask you to stand by youi ticket, your tvhiile ticket! Did wo not believe that those who are before you us can didates on the Whig ticket, were honest men, and capable of performing impurtially and acceptably tho duties of tho offices tor which they aro noiuud, wo would not, wo could not ask you to support them. We would not say a word to tho disparagement ol tho candidates presented by our oponents, nnd wo may admit, that they mo equally honest nnd capable. More we could not, with truth, say of them. 1 hen tho question resolves itself thus: Do you not prefer your own political friends, those who with you havo contended for Whig measures, to your political opponents? Aro you willing, from any sin of commission or omission ofyoiirs, to see Whig struck down, for the sako of thoio who will laugh at and deHptso you for your p litis ? Never yet, in Franklin, havo your opponents been willing to abandon their candidates for the sake of Whigs, however strong tho inducement presented. They despise that, ns a weakness, which would induce a man to abandon Ins own principles and his own friends from personal considerations and private pique. Will you, then, let any tnvial consideiaiion deter you from the polls, or induce you to hesitate when there? Wo trust not. Wo nro frin in tho faith that you will do your duly and from this time lend your inllucnce in awakening the lukewarm nnd in securing the attendance at the pollB of every good Whig who is able to walk or ride. It never should be said of the Whigs of Franklin that they faltered, when their friends, elsewhere, were enger for the contest. It'higsof Columbus! Wo look to you to commence the good work, in each ward, and in each district. We do not know thai it could be commenced better, than by an old f.nhioncd gathering nt the Club limine. Many a time and oft has our zeal been tired anew around the old counac-l-fiio. Let us havo one good bugle-blast ere wo enter the content and stride ngain for the welfare of our beloved State. What say you, Whigs ol Columbus, the matter is in your own hands. IjVllcr from Mrnii.or Ariii-iroitij, In Niiiorl of I lit) Tax Ijiiw tind II unit I.mr. The Vorp. of aw IIonkst Mas. The follow, ing letter from the lion. William Ahmsthomo, to his Democratic constituents of the District composed of (iuerusey and Coshocton, is copied from the Inst Guernsey lime. We give it with pleasure and real satisfaction, as furnUhinif cvideuco that there is one more man in I ho ranks of our opponents who dare speak out his honest sentiments, in spite of party dictation. Mr. A. has served for the last two years in tho Senate of thii Staio. His exomplo we trust will go fur to confirm hundreds iu their condemnation of the course which tho Locofoco party is pursuing in relation to the finances of Ohio. There nro ihoiitjnml in the ranks of our opponents who think as .Mr. Arinstiong does. It remains fur them to net ns they think, like honed men. Mr. A. stales to the editor of tho Times that he has solicted two papers of his purty to publish similar declarations tnti they have refused why ? Be cause they were afraid of the honest truth, bluntly spoki.ii! This is Democracy, to suppress the voice of the people! We do not agree with Mr. A. in all his views about the Hank Law. But wo nrtk our renders of ull parties to read and consider them well. To the Kditornf the (luernsey Times: Sir: Aa the citizens of this county have twice honored ino witli their support, in jiiKtico to the in and myself, I have thought proper to give them my opinion with regard to two of the most important acts to be panned upon by the majority of the citizens of this Sfitc. Nnmely, the Tax Law and the Ihiik Iaw. First, I will endeavor to how the reasonableness of thu Tax oct. The Committee on Film nee, nfier tho most careful examination, found a deficiency in thu ruveuuu of tho Suite, to meet the Sl'tte expenditures and pay the interest on thu Stale ii'ht, ot seven bundled unu odd thousand dollars. This delieieuey had to he met, either by a new loan, or raided in sumo way by nddilional taxes. This a- mount has necu accumulating these tew years past, and been met by applying other funds from the ends for which they wore intended; (as a common phrae, "robbing 1 etcr to pur 1 uul, ) and m consequence ol the deficiency, (aH borrowing more iu uddilion to tho present debt which is nearly twenty millions wns out if the question,) there Ii tu to by nn uilililiounl u- mount raised on the grand levy, or bring pojiio other property to near n proportion ol the tax. in viewing ihu Auditor's report you will find thai the real property nnd slH-k on the grand list is nearly one huu- ilreu nml twenty-eiirhl million, n7wr the whole nj ifr- iirjiiff' capital and money ul itikrt.it is on'y senti millions and a half! The present bill wilt not increase thu tax on Hie Fanners or stock master, but if justly returned will reduce it tttxnhf per cent,! 1 have been surprised 10 nee the leading pieces ot tne Slate denounce it. They certainly must be under the injlurnrr, nf the money Hrokcrs and shavers that hold JloatttiK capital h lunn out at J ram ten tottccnty percent, Tho honest merchant's lax will bo lower than under the lormcr inw;say at 0110 time 111s siock is four thousand, at another two thousand, he returns three thousand hois only taxed on fifteen hundred. One objection urged to the present tax law is, it hrinirs the manufacturer to pay his proportion. By tho Tan If, ns it is nt present, ho is protected on an a vera go of thirty-seven percent., and he should not grumulc at paying Ins nnteot one null percent. lor lie supiHirt ot the Mate, ami the privileges lie en joys miller our noble system of Republican institu tions. J o my knowledge the Democracy nua working class in general, have for years past been desirous that the lloatiug capital should bo brought to bear its proportion of tax; but so soon ns any law is iiinde to bring it 111, thu cry is ranted "the odious chicken tar taie!n My real opinion is, genuine Do- uiociHcy wants no gold sjhioii bobby to ride. As I did not support the bill in nil its stages the reason was (hot thought it did not go far enough in bringing more under lis operation. So much for a few of my opinions on tho Tux Iiw. I hope that it will at (ton 10 future day be amended so as to reduce tho Tax on Farmers and Merchants lifiy per cent, ns it could be done, and as the ax list of ol her Stales will show. We next come to the present Dank Law, and first, I will (mint out the view of the Democracy ns I understand, since lrtiJ, which is, ami was "Bank Kk-roiiM"i' not Hank destruction! Hut fheso few years pnxi, we havo had a few master spirits, uAo icant to cither rule or ruin the Mr', by going for un entiro metallic currency for this Stale; while at tho snme time wo nro, ns a member of this great Hepub-lie, surrounded by other States that have moroor less ndopted K inking systems over which we have no control. The State Bank ns it now is formed is a compilation of hieroglyphics. Tho independent H inkintr system is very near the plan proponed by the Democracy, with tho exception nf making de posits on the hast equivalent to gold or silver. Jiui the Independent Banking system can bo timcnded so nsto muku thu nolo bolder sum of gold or silver on the prciciilatiou ol the notes ot ihu B ink at its counter. Tho foregoing is reHM'Clfully submitted lo tho Democracy of this Senatorial District. WM. ARMSTRONG. September SMd, IH15. A UrmntfOHiic Hhawn up! If ever a poor, fuisc-hearted, sycophantic demn-gogno was caught in n tight place, that man is Edson, It. Olds, the Locofoco candidate for Representative iu Pickaway County, who has been endorsed by tho Statesman, much lo the mortification of those of our opponents who aro disposed to make fair fight, with issues plainly defined. The Dr. commenced the campaign very ardently, a week or two since, determined to work his way to the Legislature by means fair or foul with such a politician the end justifies the means. He was a candidate for the same post lust fall, ami it had escaped his recollection that just prior to the election ho had published a statement declaring his innocence of the charge brought against him of aiding to pot in operation the New Circlo- villu Bank ; nnd that since thut lime, iu the courso of his business operations ho hud mudo nn affidavit utterly at variance with his affirmations as a candi date. The editor of tho Circleville Herald look t!.e pains to copy tho ulliduvit and has placed it beforo the people of Pickaway along side of his declaration as a candidate last fall. If tho people ol Pickaway county do not dispose of tuis unprincipled dema gogue, after this development, they will do injustice to their own good names nnd show that mercenary charlatanry has censed to excite the detestation of honest men. This is a true picture of tho solnVh and unprincipled men who seek to mislead the peo- plo of Ohio : M l A T It .11 KNT or Ihv 4'nnlfliiit. ,l I um charged in said Circleville Herald with having aided in pultinu in operation tho New Hank of Circleville, nnd there by buying defrauded tho people.

A Her engrossing such a list of tho leaders of tho party as is given below, for the service of the Doughfaccd Democracy, there can be small chunce fur recruits left fur tho Whigs.

The annual election in Mnrylnnd took pi nee yes- terdny, A vnriety of questions have been introduced into the canvass calculated to prevent a fair contest on the general issues thut divide parties in the conn try. There are in Baltimore City four Legislative 1 ickets, and three candidates for Congress. The Temperance moii.tbe Natives, the Whigs nnd tho Locos have their regular tickets for tho legislature; and three of thoso parties have their candidates for Congress. A " reform " in tho Constitution of the Stale has been agitated and engrosses considerable nttpni tiou. In ihis stale of 0 (fairs, it is difficult to fore tell with any certainty the result. Tho contest lins not been an animated one, and the candidates hnvc been but a short lime in the field. In Baltimore Co., a district that contains a locofoco mnjority of nearly two thousand, John Wcthercd wns elected two years sinco to Congress, ns nn independent Whig, He again in the field, but the chances of carrying such n district twice for a Whig, aro, of course, but slim.

The Potato Rt. This disease, which seems to prevail throughout the country, is far more extensive and severe in Maine limn it has been in any previous year. Wo have been in several towns in this vicinity, and in most cu es the potato tops aro ub dead as lliough there hud been a hard frost, and in some places tics vna Ihu case several weeks ago. Most all kinds are affected, though somo fur moro than others. Tho Chcnaugocs, which ore cuHivnted more than any other variety, aro most injured. Tho Long Red is a hardy vnriely and is generally but little affected. In Borne cases farmers will lose bulf of their crops, and in others nlmost all. Wo have been informed that ono dug half a day in an eight aero lot and got only two bushels of sound potatoes. In Frecport and fan her cast, somo farmers have ploughed their potato lands, not considering the crop worlh digging. We are informed by those who have travelled eastward thut tho crop is in a worse condition on tho Kennubcc and still worse in Wuldo county. In travelling about thirty miles in tho interior, through the towns of Gorhuui, Standish, Limington, and Cornish, we noticed Hint the potato tops generally looked green, forming a striking contrast with tho deadly appearance of thoso on the sea coast. From this we are led to hope that though the injury prevails to some extent in the interior, it will bo far less severe. Many farmers sny that enrlv nl tinted notntnpn nrn the least affected, bul we believe thnt very late plunt- eii wmiiu cue ape, snouui ine weather Do cool during ibis month. Some consider it late to plant the tenth of June, but the Inst of June or the first of July ia the time for lute planting, in order lo secure the crop ngninst the rot, and to have partially grown, or un ripe pumiops tor seed, winch will be lull or life and vigor, and superior for this purpose. We have raised Jotniocs of good size and quality planted the first of uly, nnd we hnvc hnd good seed from planting iw late as July V.0ih. We Baw a small piece replanted quite late, and the tops were very irrcen, while others around lln-tn wero killed with the disease. The potato crop in Maine is of great importance, not only to producers, but to numerous consumers of this valuable vegetable in most of the principal markets in tho United States; and this calamity will bo seriously felt. Willi many furmors it is their nmiii dependence. Instead of bounliful crops, as tley have generally hnd in past inasnns, in some sections, there will hardly bo enough for seed, and they hardly know what to do in future, whether to try again so pn carious a crop, or lo abandon it altogether.

TllUUSDAV EVKNINO, UUTOHER 1845. Tli Hi riulliiif CiiiiiiUxionrrt It will bo recollected thut Mr. Spencer, in hia brief j communication to tlio public under date of Sept II, denied that the "insinuation" in the Journal that ho was a defaulter wns true! In what manner llio insinuation was repealed and clinched, id in the recollection of our rondern. lie also said (and wo quote hia language that there may be no mistake) "I am ready to render an account of my steward-ship, and account for all money which has come into my hands, as soon ns the truvellinjr member of the Board of Fund Cum in winners is ready to make the itettlumcntwitli mo. What renders the charge of defalcation against the iHtc Hoard tho more unfair, is the fact, that Mr. Itansomond myself have frequently visiiod Columbus to procure a settlement with the acting Commissioner of tho Fund Hoard, and have as often been disappointed. This fact must have been known to tho Journal scribbler, nnd if so, it at once places liitn in the lowest rank of slanderers." We will hero remark that " the travelling member of the Board of Fund Commissioners " so gracelessly alluded to, has always been present in his office himself, or by a Clerk authorized by law, evor since his nppointmcnt, until sinco the date of Mr. Spencer1 communication, when ill health compelled the Secretary to retire. IIo is now absent, but tho Commissioner is present, nnd wo havo his authority for Baying that no application mis ever made, by Mr, Spencer or Mr, Hansom, to htm or at hi etjjict, for a settlement, as is claimed by Mr. Hitencer. A very discreet, and no doubt very disinterested friend of Colonel Kuniom's, lately said in a communication addressed to the N, Vork Tribune, (whose editor's good nature was so far imposed as to in-duco the publication.) that Col. It. has made two unsuccessful c Hurts to procure a meeting of the Corn in id i oners, nnd finally to accommodate them and not himself, an appointment is umdo for the ensuing October." This assertion is equally destitute of foundation with the other. Tho writer in tho Tribune farther says "It is needless to say to those acquainted with tho course of business in Ohio, that it is the duty of tho Fund ('ommirisionurs to call on the officers of State, to whoae hands any of the public money is committed, for an annual account Let us see how the fact stands in regard to the Acting Commissioners: Sec. 5, of tho Act "to regulate the mode of settlement of nc count between the different departments connected with tho Public Works," passed March Vi, provides "That each Acting Coimms-oonor of tho Hoard nf I' lib lie Works shall settle with the Acting Com- misoioner of the Cnnal Fund on the fi flee nth d.i)s of May snd November, in each year." Had this provision been complied with, we should not havo to hear about balances in the hands of Commissioners unaccounted for, as it is modestly termed. Whatever desiro Mr. Spencer or Mr. ltauom may have expressed elsewhere to settle their account, it is very evident that they have not culled nt tho right place. We are sorry to makn this exjmsuro, but our silence bus been wrongly understood uiul misrepresented. Tho reader can judge how fur tho delay in the settlement of tho accounts of the ActingCorn-mi-winner has been made for the accommodation of the Fund Commissions, Whin mf FrinUtiH ('inly. IMieving that tho Whigs nl Franklin nro men of deeds and not of words, and that thty cannot nvojd swing nnd knowing tho characters of those who ns-mimo to lead the locofoco party of Ohio, as well as tho nature of tho measures advocated by them, wo liav refrained from addressing them particularly during tho campaign that is now nearly at a close. Nor is it our pursue now, to do moru than remind them of the near approach of the election, and the importanco of maturing their measures so ns to secure the attendance at the (tolls of every Whig voter on the 1 1th day of October. In every section of tho State and by tho whole Whig party of Ohio, Franklin is looked upoii as one of those counties that are unalterably Whig. In all vicissitudes of party, the Wing of Franklin, it is supposed, will sltuid fast, do their whole duty, sustain their high repututiou nml set to all other counties an example worthy of imitation. To their example and achievements do others louk for the fin its of a tho rough organization, an unfaltering faith, a xeil that tires not, on energy that delies resistance. If hero there should be faltrring nnd remissness, among thoso who have been trained in the very camp of the enemy, and who know llmt tin wo who struggln for the 'spoils never sliO never cease to prey nn tho credulity of tho unsu4jeuting and unwary, what could be expected from other sections of the State. If here the Whigs should present a divided front, and sutler a portion of their own ticket, (men of their own political faith, men who havo bean tried, and who are known by all to be "honest am) cnpablo") to be defeated, it would bo a lu.Htiug reproach, a burning shame. Now, wo do not know that any such result is likely to bo brought ubonL On tho contrary, wo believe that the Wings of Franklin will be true to themselves, their cause and their friends throughout tho Stale, in tho contest thnt comes oft next 'I lies- day week. Hut, wo predicate our faith on what is to bo done, not on what has been done. Wo bolievo there is much to d in this county, and that the im jMirtaul work of tho campaign has been more neg lected in this county thin in any other section of tho Stale, Wo have, it ii supposed, a County Whig Committee; but who they nro and what they have done are questions more canity asked than answered. At least, wo find others about as much in the dark ns to their movements ns wo nro. If such a Commilteo is in ox is t once, it is nil important that they set about tho imjHrtaut work entrusted to t-omi. If iheru is not such a committee, the sooner tho work usually allotted to it is undertaken by others tho better. W wan' tow nli i p commiltT, nnd wo want to know that they oro at work. Such committees have already been appointed in some of tho townships by our op nme uts, and we havo reason to believe hal they are at work. Whigs of Franklin! if our good name is to bo austnined, and you expect to enjoy I ho fruits of a complete victory, you mint sue each other and pass round the work of admonition and exhortation until there shall not bo one left who fails to understand tho nature of the i-wiios between the two parties. Here, as elsewhere, if a victory is achieved, we shall bo indebted to clKcient labors for it. Apathy and neglect will yield tho same fruits hero, that have been uxiwrienced elsewhere. Wo are advised that our opponents are already anticipating a suro victory over at least a portion of ourlickut, owing to the apa thy that exist They know that their friends can bo relied on in all contingencies, and that it is tho Whigs who suffer by a small vol. They see that a change of a littlo ovorftrcfifv rotes in each township will give them the county, and that a falling olT in the voto greater than this, will inevitably occur, unless a large amount of labor is expended in arousing tho Whigs during the short period (lint is loft us, Whigs '.if Franklin, you must up and at tho work, if you would disapHJint tbem. You con elect every mm on your ticket. Of that there can bo no doubt Will you do it? Will you, by staying away from tho polls, by scratching your tickets, swapping votes, or any other dangerous expedient, endanger any por tion of your ticket. Never were Whig principles so firmly rooted, never had they a stronger bold on tho affections of the people of Ohio, aa at the present time. This ia as true of Franklin aa of any of her sisters. In behalf of those principles, then, in bo- half of measures that wo know you approve, wo ask you to stand by youi ticket, your tvhiile ticket! Did wo not believe that those who are before you us can didates on the Whig ticket, were honest men, and capable of performing impurtially and acceptably tho duties of tho offices tor which they aro noiuud, wo would not, wo could not ask you to support them. We would not say a word to tho disparagement ol tho candidates presented by our oponents, nnd wo may admit, that they mo equally honest nnd capable. More we could not, with truth, say of them. 1 hen tho question resolves itself thus: Do you not prefer your own political friends, those who with you havo contended for Whig measures, to your political opponents? Aro you willing, from any sin of commission or omission ofyoiirs, to see Whig struck down, for the sako of thoio who will laugh at and deHptso you for your p litis ? Never yet, in Franklin, havo your opponents been willing to abandon their candidates for the sake of Whigs, however strong tho inducement presented. They despise that, ns a weakness, which would induce a man to abandon Ins own principles and his own friends from personal considerations and private pique. Will you, then, let any tnvial consideiaiion deter you from the polls, or induce you to hesitate when there? Wo trust not. Wo nro frin in tho faith that you will do your duly and from this time lend your inllucnce in awakening the lukewarm nnd in securing the attendance at the pollB of every good Whig who is able to walk or ride. It never should be said of the Whigs of Franklin that they faltered, when their friends, elsewhere, were enger for the contest. It'higsof Columbus! Wo look to you to commence the good work, in each ward, and in each district. We do not know thai it could be commenced better, than by an old f.nhioncd gathering nt the Club limine. Many a time and oft has our zeal been tired anew around the old counac-l-fiio. Let us havo one good bugle-blast ere wo enter the content and stride ngain for the welfare of our beloved State. What say you, Whigs ol Columbus, the matter is in your own hands. IjVllcr from Mrnii.or Ariii-iroitij, In Niiiorl of I lit) Tax Ijiiw tind II unit I.mr. The Vorp. of aw IIonkst Mas. The follow, ing letter from the lion. William Ahmsthomo, to his Democratic constituents of the District composed of (iuerusey and Coshocton, is copied from the Inst Guernsey lime. We give it with pleasure and real satisfaction, as furnUhinif cvideuco that there is one more man in I ho ranks of our opponents who dare speak out his honest sentiments, in spite of party dictation. Mr. A. has served for the last two years in tho Senate of thii Staio. His exomplo we trust will go fur to confirm hundreds iu their condemnation of the course which tho Locofoco party is pursuing in relation to the finances of Ohio. There nro ihoiitjnml in the ranks of our opponents who think as .Mr. Arinstiong does. It remains fur them to net ns they think, like honed men. Mr. A. stales to the editor of tho Times that he has solicted two papers of his purty to publish similar declarations tnti they have refused why ? Be cause they were afraid of the honest truth, bluntly spoki.ii! This is Democracy, to suppress the voice of the people! We do not agree with Mr. A. in all his views about the Hank Law. But wo nrtk our renders of ull parties to read and consider them well. To the Kditornf the (luernsey Times: Sir: Aa the citizens of this county have twice honored ino witli their support, in jiiKtico to the in and myself, I have thought proper to give them my opinion with regard to two of the most important acts to be panned upon by the majority of the citizens of this Sfitc. Nnmely, the Tax Law and the Ihiik Iaw. First, I will endeavor to how the reasonableness of thu Tax oct. The Committee on Film nee, nfier tho most careful examination, found a deficiency in thu ruveuuu of tho Suite, to meet the Sl'tte expenditures and pay the interest on thu Stale ii'ht, ot seven bundled unu odd thousand dollars. This delieieuey had to he met, either by a new loan, or raided in sumo way by nddilional taxes. This a- mount has necu accumulating these tew years past, and been met by applying other funds from the ends for which they wore intended; (as a common phrae, "robbing 1 etcr to pur 1 uul, ) and m consequence ol the deficiency, (aH borrowing more iu uddilion to tho present debt which is nearly twenty millions wns out if the question,) there Ii tu to by nn uilililiounl u- mount raised on the grand levy, or bring pojiio other property to near n proportion ol the tax. in viewing ihu Auditor's report you will find thai the real property nnd slH-k on the grand list is nearly one huu- ilreu nml twenty-eiirhl million, n7wr the whole nj ifr- iirjiiff' capital and money ul itikrt.it is on'y senti millions and a half! The present bill wilt not increase thu tax on Hie Fanners or stock master, but if justly returned will reduce it tttxnhf per cent,! 1 have been surprised 10 nee the leading pieces ot tne Slate denounce it. They certainly must be under the injlurnrr, nf the money Hrokcrs and shavers that hold JloatttiK capital h lunn out at J ram ten tottccnty percent, Tho honest merchant's lax will bo lower than under the lormcr inw;say at 0110 time 111s siock is four thousand, at another two thousand, he returns three thousand hois only taxed on fifteen hundred. One objection urged to the present tax law is, it hrinirs the manufacturer to pay his proportion. By tho Tan If, ns it is nt present, ho is protected on an a vera go of thirty-seven percent., and he should not grumulc at paying Ins nnteot one null percent. lor lie supiHirt ot the Mate, ami the privileges lie en joys miller our noble system of Republican institu tions. J o my knowledge the Democracy nua working class in general, have for years past been desirous that the lloatiug capital should bo brought to bear its proportion of tax; but so soon ns any law is iiinde to bring it 111, thu cry is ranted "the odious chicken tar taie!n My real opinion is, genuine Do- uiociHcy wants no gold sjhioii bobby to ride. As I did not support the bill in nil its stages the reason was (hot thought it did not go far enough in bringing more under lis operation. So much for a few of my opinions on tho Tux Iiw. I hope that it will at (ton 10 future day be amended so as to reduce tho Tax on Farmers and Merchants lifiy per cent, ns it could be done, and as the ax list of ol her Stales will show. We next come to the present Dank Law, and first, I will (mint out the view of the Democracy ns I understand, since lrtiJ, which is, ami was "Bank Kk-roiiM"i' not Hank destruction! Hut fheso few years pnxi, we havo had a few master spirits, uAo icant to cither rule or ruin the Mr', by going for un entiro metallic currency for this Stale; while at tho snme time wo nro, ns a member of this great Hepub-lie, surrounded by other States that have moroor less ndopted K inking systems over which we have no control. The State Bank ns it now is formed is a compilation of hieroglyphics. Tho independent H inkintr system is very near the plan proponed by the Democracy, with tho exception nf making de posits on the hast equivalent to gold or silver. Jiui the Independent Banking system can bo timcnded so nsto muku thu nolo bolder sum of gold or silver on the prciciilatiou ol the notes ot ihu B ink at its counter. Tho foregoing is reHM'Clfully submitted lo tho Democracy of this Senatorial District. WM. ARMSTRONG. September SMd, IH15. A UrmntfOHiic Hhawn up! If ever a poor, fuisc-hearted, sycophantic demn-gogno was caught in n tight place, that man is Edson, It. Olds, the Locofoco candidate for Representative iu Pickaway County, who has been endorsed by tho Statesman, much lo the mortification of those of our opponents who aro disposed to make fair fight, with issues plainly defined. The Dr. commenced the campaign very ardently, a week or two since, determined to work his way to the Legislature by means fair or foul with such a politician the end justifies the means. He was a candidate for the same post lust fall, ami it had escaped his recollection that just prior to the election ho had published a statement declaring his innocence of the charge brought against him of aiding to pot in operation the New Circlo- villu Bank ; nnd that since thut lime, iu the courso of his business operations ho hud mudo nn affidavit utterly at variance with his affirmations as a candi date. The editor of tho Circleville Herald look t!.e pains to copy tho ulliduvit and has placed it beforo the people of Pickaway along side of his declaration as a candidate last fall. If tho people ol Pickaway county do not dispose of tuis unprincipled dema gogue, after this development, they will do injustice to their own good names nnd show that mercenary charlatanry has censed to excite the detestation of honest men.

A Her engrossing such a list of tho leaders of tho party as is given below, for the service of the Doughfaccd Democracy, there can be small chunce fur recruits left fur tho Whigs.

The annual election in Mnrylnnd took pi nee yes- terdny, A vnriety of questions have been introduced into the canvass calculated to prevent a fair contest on the general issues thut divide parties in the conn try. There are in Baltimore City four Legislative 1 ickets, and three candidates for Congress. The Temperance moii.tbe Natives, the Whigs nnd tho Locos have their regular tickets for tho legislature; and three of thoso parties have their candidates for Congress. A " reform " in tho Constitution of the Stale has been agitated and engrosses considerable nttpni tiou. In ihis stale of 0 (fairs, it is difficult to fore tell with any certainty the result. Tho contest lins not been an animated one, and the candidates hnvc been but a short lime in the field. In Baltimore Co., a district that contains a locofoco mnjority of nearly two thousand, John Wcthercd wns elected two years sinco to Congress, ns nn independent Whig, He again in the field, but the chances of carrying such n district twice for a Whig, aro, of course, but slim.

The Potato Rt. This disease, which seems to prevail throughout the country, is far more extensive and severe in Maine limn it has been in any previous year. Wo have been in several towns in this vicinity, and in most cu es the potato tops aro ub dead as lliough there hud been a hard frost, and in some places tics vna Ihu case several weeks ago. Most all kinds are affected, though somo fur moro than others. Tho Chcnaugocs, which ore cuHivnted more than any other variety, aro most injured. Tho Long Red is a hardy vnriely and is generally but little affected. In Borne cases farmers will lose bulf of their crops, and in others nlmost all. Wo have been informed that ono dug half a day in an eight aero lot and got only two bushels of sound potatoes. In Frecport and fan her cast, somo farmers have ploughed their potato lands, not considering the crop worlh digging. We are informed by those who have travelled eastward thut tho crop is in a worse condition on tho Kennubcc and still worse in Wuldo county. In travelling about thirty miles in tho interior, through the towns of Gorhuui, Standish, Limington, and Cornish, we noticed Hint the potato tops generally looked green, forming a striking contrast with tho deadly appearance of thoso on the sea coast. From this we are led to hope that though the injury prevails to some extent in the interior, it will bo far less severe. Many farmers sny that enrlv nl tinted notntnpn nrn the least affected, bul we believe thnt very late plunt- eii wmiiu cue ape, snouui ine weather Do cool during ibis month. Some consider it late to plant the tenth of June, but the Inst of June or the first of July ia the time for lute planting, in order lo secure the crop ngninst the rot, and to have partially grown, or un ripe pumiops tor seed, winch will be lull or life and vigor, and superior for this purpose. We have raised Jotniocs of good size and quality planted the first of uly, nnd we hnvc hnd good seed from planting iw late as July V.0ih. We Baw a small piece replanted quite late, and the tops were very irrcen, while others around lln-tn wero killed with the disease. The potato crop in Maine is of great importance, not only to producers, but to numerous consumers of this valuable vegetable in most of the principal markets in tho United States; and this calamity will bo seriously felt. Willi many furmors it is their nmiii dependence. Instead of bounliful crops, as tley have generally hnd in past inasnns, in some sections, there will hardly bo enough for seed, and they hardly know what to do in future, whether to try again so pn carious a crop, or lo abandon it altogether.
